One of the great things about my search is that I never know what I'm going to find. Impressively drawn and printed stickers, handwritten notes on name labels, business or band logos, and new creations I could hardly think of litter the streets of the city. Each one leaves a mark all it's own and gives a small taste of the creator and area it resides in.
I was wasting time before a doctor's appointment when I found this sticker in South Oakland. While it's nothing really special, just the school's usual logo, I like how it works in the photo. Small enough to be easily overlooked but leaves an impact with the contrasting colors and placement. Clearly it's just a piece of the ubiquitous free items you got from Pitt that someone felt belonged on a fire hydrant. You see these types of things all over South Oakland; signs in apartment windows, flags hung on porches, and the lost paraphernalia along the streets. It gives this student heavy area of Oakland that extra bit of school spirit.
